If the problem is just a full server, FFXIV WILL put you into a queue. That's not what this is, this is something else. And to be fair, I had a LOT of "error to desktop" errors with WOW when the most recent expansion launched, the same as this. It was much more widespread and happened for a longer period of time. So I wouldn't say this is the only modern MMO I've had this problem with. That said, I really don't think it would hurt to add a "retry" button when that problem occurs, so we don't have to enter all our information all over again.
